Electrical contacts communicate with the sensor element. A transmitter is installed within a transmitter housing that has first and second portions that are pivotally joined to one another, and is arranged to transmit a signal responsive to the sensor element and to a duration of a predetermined period of time that corresponds to the duration of a selectable condition of the diaper. A receiver responds to predetermined transmitters, each transmitter being associated with a respective patient.
